Beach House 317, ocean front condo with pool on North Waccamaw Drive

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: While our family enjoyed our beach trip, we were disappointed in the condo that we booked. When we first walked in, it felt like a dungeon. All the windows were closed, the walls were dark, furniture was dark, etc. not very inviting. After opening some of the bulky window shades, we realized we couldn’t fully see the ocean from the living room only out one part of the sliding glass because the blinds couldn’t go anywhere and blocked half the few. The furniture was way too bulky for the space and honestly the sofa plus the chairs to the dining room table were so dirty. It felt gross to sit on during the week especially because if food got on the chairs, the cushions couldn’t be removed to wash them you just had to wipe it down and hope for the best. Some of the furniture pieces were chipping, the granite top in the kitchen was broken, none of the lights worked properly, and in the bathroom 2 out 3 light bulbs were out. In the kitchen, there were way too many unnecessary bowls, gravy holders, and just random dish ware that you would never use on vacation. Make sure to bring your own Tupperware or bowls with tips because if you have leftovers or trying to take things to the beach in your cooler, you will have to just use plastic bags.Also, while on our trip the front of the stove exploded out of nowhere and glass shattered everywhere. We went all week without being able to use the oven but I was thankful that by Friday, Garden City Realty did offer a small refund for not being able to use the stove and then of course they came on Friday to repair the glass. On the back patio, for such a small space it again had a bulky lounge chair and had rusted furniture that wasn’t very comfortable and because of the small space, you may accidentally hit a corner of the rusty chairs or table and it doesn’t feel good...I will not be booking this condo again, especially for the price that we paid.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall our trip to the beach was enjoyable. The condo could definitely use some upgrades. The balcony furniture is rusting and is dining height, so the fence obstructs your view of the ocean. Inside, the furniture is older, bulky, and shows some wear and tear. Small things like the ice maker not working, no Keurig coffee maker, uncomfortable bar seating, and random chairs made the place seem uncomfortable. Giving some info in the guidebook on how to access the pool/beach would also be helpful - it was confusing at first. Other guests were also confused on how to access the beach. There was also an issue with parking. The pass we received was not accepted by the HOA, and they had a tow truck outside ready to tow our vehicle! I convinced the tow company to hold off until I contact Garden City Realty. I had to park two rental areas down for the first couple days - less than ideal. You shouldn't have to worry about your car getting towed while on vacation. Anther guest actually did get theirs towed and had to pay to get it back. It sounded like the HOA was being very picky, but Garden City should get it sorted out. I will say the guest services department did what they could to figure out the parking issue. It was something out of their control and unfortunately they had to deal with the problem.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo overall was okay. The furniture was quite dated and too big for some of the rooms which made it awkward. The master bath could be updated. Furniture on the porridge was uncomfortable. There were no cleaning supplies or trash bags left at the property. I would definitely say at this location again. But maybe choose a different condo.

We stayed in unit 317. Unit was clean the beds are super comfy after a long day in the sun. The den furniture needs some upgrades- the cushions are worn out. Would also love some captain style chairs in the deck so you can look over the banister to the beach. Kitchen is well stocked but time to upgrade the coffee maker to a keurig.

The condo has a well stocked kitchen and we like that there is no carpeting on the floors. We love to walk on the beach and it is an easy walk to the Garden City Pier. We have also found the owner and management company to be very responsive when needed. We would recommend this place to others.

There is a reason why we book with Garden City Realty and reserve BH317...GCR is great! Garden City Beach is great! BH317 is great! GCR makes the process smooth & easy. GCB offers plenty for you to do and see. BH317 has everything that you need...from beautiful sunrise views over the beach from your bed or balcony to all of the necessities of a home away from home. Experience everything you need to make vacation memories.

The closet was full with extra chairs, umbrella, toys, etc. Nice pool and deck.Cons -We do have complaints about the quality of beds and couch - very uncomfortable and need updating as others have mentioned. The couch coushions are extremely worn.The shower door was about to fall off, one towel rack did fall down - twice. We also called about replacing a moldy shower curtain but never had a response. The maintance man did come and repair the damaged items quickly and was very friendly.Overall we enjoyed the stay.
